[PATCH] ppc32: Kill init on unhandled synchronous signals

Browse Source 
This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages.  If init causes
an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or
SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver
the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a
handler for.  But that means that we just return to userland and
generate the same exception again immediately.  With this patch we
print a message and kill init in this situation.

This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that
init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :)
Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the
userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue
about what has gone wrong.
